So Dave got a promotion and a raise. Go Dave!

I had a sinus infection and bronchitis. Again. Sure, why not?

Noah turned 4 and is anxiously awaiting his party on Saturday. You know, the one I'm completely unprepared for. I practiced with fondant 1x. ONE. And I am babysitting thurs and Fri evenings. I'm going to be up so late!

Noah has gift fever. A UPS truck pulled in the driveway, and he immediately assumed, "maybe it a present for my birfday." Oh, Noah.

David's school is having a Me and My Guy dance this Saturday evening. I didn't go to my own dances in school. So out of my comfort zone. But fear not, the tickets have been purchased. He is pumped. He is sooo excited. As long as he has a good time, it's worth it.

Noah's Mario Party

Noah will be turning 4 on the 15th.   FOUR.  That's crazy.  I asked him what kind of birthday he wanted and gave him a few ideas, one of which was "Mario."  He jumped all over that one.  Since then I have been going slightly nuts looking up all things Mario.  How-to guides, where-to-buy, LOTS of photos and pictures for me to work from.

And, yes, I will be trying my darndest to make a cake that is very similar to that one.  Although, I will be buying the characters and making the background.  I am probably a little over-confident of my cake decorating skills.  But all of the girls on You Tube make it look so easy!

So far:

New car!

While I was down with the stomach flu, Dave bought me a new-to-me car.  I am in love.  It is a few years older than the Durango was, but it is so much nicer.  And huge.  :)

Dave found a black Suburban for me, and it is lovely.

(that's my car!  That is not my house...)

David had the stomach flu first.  It was then bestowed upon me.  And just when i believed us to be in the clear---Noah threw up at midnight last Saturday.  In his bed.  On his bedding.  On himself.  On stuffed animals.  On the wall.  On the floor.  It was a doosie.  Poor stinker.  he spent the rest of the night on the couch, and I stayed in the over-sized chair next to him.  He got sick a few more times that night, but was pretty much ok the next day.  it couldve been worse.

we are now illness free.

i am watching Ava next week at 4:45 am.   ugghhh....  oh well, it's money.
